Wow... flashbacks... this definitely seems like deja vu for me... the only difference my dad was adamant that noone in his family can have a mental disorder... even today after 31 years after i finally decided i need help and have gone and got it, he is still in denial...

I would advise you to keep a healthy relationship with your family alongwith taking meds and advise from professionals... Let your family know that this is something you need to do for the good of your future and theirs... that you respect their opinion and if they are not willing to accept at this stage you will not hold it against them... but also they should respect the fact that you feel you need help and you will get it... be polite and respectful everytime you speak to your family... i know it is hard, but if you keep patience they will come around... also please speak to your therapist and get the correct help that you need... it will take time... it will be hardwork... but it will pay off if you keep calm and composed...

And our friends here at PC are always are here to help...

Lots of hugs...

Lets shed our final tear,
I wish you all Happy New Year...
